At a high temperature of 1600°C, the glass melts instantly.

Under the action of gravity, the molten glass flows out of the platinum-rhodium alloy spout. It cools rapidly during the falling process, and instantly solidifies into fibers in 0.01 seconds. At the thinnest time, the diameter is only 4 microns, which is equivalent to one-twelfth of a hair. This is a fiber material with special properties prepared by material expert Zu Qun using glass as raw material.

Glass fiber is not far away from us. It is often woven into cloth, laid layer by layer to form a skeleton, and then poured into resin to heat and solidify to make a special fiber-reinforced composite material with a strength modulus increased by more than 10 times. This material has a more The well-known name, FRP.

As the most widely used composite material in the world, this composite material made of glass fiber has become ubiquitous, ranging from household appliances to automobile ships and even wind turbine blades.

25 kilometers away from Mount Tai, it is the birthplace of China's first 10,000-ton kiln glass fiber production line. The 15 production lines are fully powered, and the annual output of glass fiber here can reach 1.38 million tons.

Magnifying this number eight times is the global production capacity for one year. Among them, China accounted for more than 60%. Today's China has already become the world's largest glass fiber producer.
